However, anticholinergic agents exert antidepressant effects for some people. Conversely (is that the right term in this case), pro-cholinergic drugs can induce depression. In my experience dosages of Zyprexa up to 10mg haven't really bothered me in the same way that imipramine does. I wouldn't make a decision about Zyprexa with anti-muscarinic properties as the criterion.
